I'd suggest either avoiding triggers, even if it is tempting, or becoming desensitised to them! Just think - it's only some words/a photo, what harm can it really do me?

I've found that stopping myself from looking at things that trigger me help. I don't purposely put myself into situations that are triggering. I also have a plan to handle when I am triggered, involving breathing, using a distraction from my anti-anxiety kit I made like coloring or playing video games

I used to look at things that I knew would trigger me, yet I could never stop looking at them. You should identify the things that trigger you by writing in a diary so that you can try to avoid them. Ultimately there will always be triggers that you see and can't control, it's about learning how to deal with these triggers.

First step is to recognize your triggers. You can't stop it if you don't know what triggers your behaviour. Next step depends about the issue but it's either avoiding the triggers or processing and managing your feelings and working them to the point you don't get triggered anymore. There is not short cuts for healing.

Accept yourself as powerful instead of as victim to remove the veil of self-deception. When you seek to identify what is triggering how you feel in the moment, you give yourself the chance to feel differently if you want to. You will also have more clarity on what you need to do or what you need to ask for to change your circumstances.
The strengths that have helped in life are also your greatest emotional triggers when you feel someone is not honoring one of them. When your brain perceives that someone has taken or plans to take one of these important things away from you, your emotions are triggered.

Don't go the places that trigger you, dont think the thoughts. Fill your mind with positive, pursue the positive and eventually you will see the good seed that you have planted come up with more abundance than the bad.

It depends on what it is, try not to think about what triggers you and it won't effect you anymore.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
